Just to mention it: Spider won't work on AOS4.x Classic. The Mediator does not allow real DMA (just PCI-PCI DMA between PCI cards, not to Amiga motherboard), and as the NEC chip (as pure PCI solution) can only operate on DMA, you're done.

Are you sure about that? I can't understand why spider will work on os 3.9 but will not work under 4.1 there shoud be some kind of workaround as it works on 3.9.

Because dma on mediator is a hack.  AOS4 devs did not want to code that hack into the AOS4.  Hence DMA does not work on AOS4


ok...but maybe I could use the same driver I used on os 3.9 :P

USB on mediator is ok for me.
